Does anyone know if there's a version of Module::Build that works
with 5.0.5? The latest doesn't appear to.
What is the trouble?
If I install an old enough version of Data::Dumper to work on 5.0.5
M::B's tests fail because D::D can't handle some data that's passed
to it. Pre 2.0 versions of Data::Dumper are thin on the ground.
Here's all I can find on backpan:
